patching

[mrsshotglass.livejournal.com]

I apologize if this is off topic, but I need some advice.
My roommate fell and ripped her favorite pants. They're kinda stretchy, gym pants (referred to as the comfy pants). She asked me to fix them, but what method would be least noticable, short of replacing the entire panel? The pants have two dime sized, round holes, and the entire effected area is about the size of a dollar bill folded in half. Should patch over, under, sew up the holes or a combination of two?
